Any more on this? Not a ton of interest in the NH area
The Connecticut thread is where its at for the northeast right now. Its close to Evans gym, and close enough for the NJ guys to come out and train. There will be one this summer for sure. Any questions just send me a PM.
Hey, new to the forum here. I've been competing in powerlifting for about 2-3 years now. I workout with a small crew that trains out of Woodshed Fitness in Littleton, MA. (near acton, lowell, Chelmsford). It doesn't seem like there's much activity on here for a Mass ABC. I would like to organize hosting one if there's interest. We're close enough for people in NH as well. I'll be competing at RPS in October, if anyone else is doing that meet. I'd love to bring some more people into our team, so feel free to PM me for details if you're interested.

I train at TPS in Everett, MA. I've known Murph, the owner for years, and asked him about hosting an ABC event. He sounds open to the idea, so I'll ask him again after the meet this weekend and things die down.
I, too, will be competing at the meet on Sunday. Just look for a guy with a big beard and giant eyeball tattoo on his right forearm. I would love to help set something up if I can't host it at TPS.

Sounds good. We'd be down to bring some people if TPS wants to host an ABC. You guys already have various training days, so I don't know how different this would be. Things are pretty sparse out in our area, so just trying to recruit. I'm lifting tomorrow, good luck on Sunday if we don't cross paths.

The training days are great and all, but not the same thing. I was thinking getting as much yellow going as possible on a Sunday where we all do a certain workout or something. Then have a bbq or something afterwards and just hang out for a bit in the parking lot.
Training days are people paying money to get coached on lifting. I'd have no problem helping/coaching on one of those if they wanted critique/advice (I've helped out plenty at training days at TPS and used to train people there) but was thinking more the comradery aspect of things for people to meet some fellow lifters in the area. Having as many people as Massachusetts does, the days of hardcore gyms and guys training together seems to be dead. It took me awhile to assemble a consistent group to train with AT TPS! Sounds weird, but true.
Good luck for you as well if we don't cross paths. I'll be showing up for weigh-ins at 7am, and then have to spend the day on campus studying.

Sounds good. Let me know what you can get organized and I should be able to bring a few people. Hard to believe you have a tough time putting together a crew at TPS, I guess I shouldn't be surprised its tough out here as well. I'll be down for the 11AM weigh-in, so sounds like we'll miss each other. Justin, the owner of our gym might be lifting on Sunday, so you can talk with him if you want.
It is time, my gym in Palmer MA Gil's gym is finally set up with some equipment for powerlifting and a decent group of lifters, I've been wanting to do this for quite some time. We have an elitefts bench, Texas power bar, buffalo bar, Swiss bar, bands, slingshots, power rack, deadlift platform and dumbbells up to 150lbs. Just need to set up an exact date and freshen up on how to set up an ABC as this will be my first time hosting, hopefully this thread is not dead, we have been trying to have one in MA but there is rarely a response, I will prb post in the ct thread as well if anyone from there wants to join in.
I hope to have a exact date in the next month stay tuned

Hello everyone it has been a while in the makes but I am happy to announce that Gil's Gym in Palmer Ma is hosting its first ABC on September 17th at 10am. The address is 159 Wilbraham st Palmer, the gym is located in the KMart plaza you can't miss it!
We have all your standard equipment with dumbbells up to 150lbs. We also have an area catering to the power lifter including an elitefts monolift, an elitefts competition bench and a roque deadlift platform. We have bands chains and a variety of special bars.
Please signup if interested and let's make this event huge, we haven't had an abc up this way in some time. The last one I remember was in ct back in 2013 with Evan Centopani!!...maybe he will make his way here we're not to far(that would rule!) Any questions feel free to ask here.
The powerlifting group that I am in will be benching at the event as every Sunday is our bench day, feel free to work in.
Yeah that is what I want to know! What gym would it be at? West Springfield Golds?
